Book Description
A general-purpose test facility for determining the one-dimensional compression characteristics of soils subjected to impulse-type loads has been developed in order to help satisfy the ever-increasing demand for reliable soil-property data required in support of a wide variety of nuclear-weapons-effects-related problems. The design, fabrication, installation, and evaluation of the various elements which together comprise the test facility were accomplished. The various considerations involved in the design and evaluation of the newly developed test facility are discussed in detail, thus providing some insight into the types of factors which affect the experimental-accuracy capability of a one-dimensional compression test facility and thereby the reliability of the data obtained under any particular set of conditions.

Development of a 1.22-m-diam Dynamic Air Overpressure Soil Test Facility
Author: Stafford S. Cooper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Materials
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
A large cold-gas-operated air overpressure test facility has been designed, fabricated, and installed at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to test soil specimens 1.22 m in diameter and up to 5.03 m in length under static and blast-type loading conditions. A series of preliminary tests was conducted to evaluate the loading characteristics and overall performance of the facility and to compare results of uniaxial strain tests on dry sand conducted in the large facility with well documented and generally accepted results of tests on similar sand specimens conducted in a previously developed 12.70-cm-diam uniaxial strain test device.

Rock Dynamics and Applications 3
Author: Charlie C. Li
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351181300
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1146
Book Description
Rock Dynamics – Experiments, Theories and Applications is a collection of scientific and technical papers presented at the Third International Conference on Rock Dynamics and Applications (RocDyn-3, Trondheim, Norway, 26-27 June 2018). The papers in the book reflect the recent developments in experiment and theory as well as engineering applications of rock dynamics. Rock dynamics studies the response of rock and rock masses under dynamic loading and during the state transition from static loading to kinetic movement. It also includes the study of engineering countermeasures to dynamic instability of rock and rock masses. The topics in the book include: - Dynamic theories - Numerical simulation - Propagation of stress waves - Dynamic tests of rock - Stability of underground openings under dynamic loading - Rockburst - Seismic monitoring - Dynamic rock support - Blasting - Earthquake-related rock structure damage, etc. Applications, such as rockburst, dynamic rock support, seismic monitoring, blasting and earthquake-related rock structure damage, are paid special attention in Rock Dynamics – Experiments, Theories and Applications. The papers, from specialists both from mining and tunnelling branches, discuss commonly interested dynamic issues. Their experience and knowledge in the application of rock dynamics are extremely valuable for all academics, engineers and professionals who work with rock dynamics.
